Ian Cutter, Gwen's son and father to the triplets, estimated that more than 150 sets of lights deck the house, taking weeks to put up.

He said: "It takes three or four weeks to put up, start to finish. Mum does it every year and we help her. Everybody mucks in. They do look good."

Ian is very moved by his mother's annual efforts to raise money in the memory of Shaun.

He added: "Bless her, I wouldn't have it any other way. The day she stops doing it is the day something is wrong. I think it's a fantastic idea."

Gwen felt relieved to have the lights in place for another year and pleased that local residents are still coming to visit.

She said: "I'm really pleased when it's all running. I'm pleased that I've managed to do it again for another year.

"Different people have told me that it's a better display this year than last year.
